A unified social inbox for managing every comment, DM, and review
Manage the engagement your content generates in the same tool you use to schedule your posts. The Social Inbox will collect all comments, DMs, reviews, and mentions across your social media channels and profiles – all in a user- and team-friendly dashboard.
AI auto-moderation that hides spam and hate before your audience sees it
Your AI Assistant in the Social Inbox automatically detects and tags spam and hate for you. You’re then one Auto-moderation workflow away from automatically eliminating it from your comment sections, so it never disrupts your community-building efforts.
Social CRM for full customer history across every connected platform
Know your customer is more than just a marketing phrase with Social CRM. Each individual profile stores your previous interactions across social media profiles for easy access to your relationship history, anytime you need it.
AI reply suggestions that match your brand voice – not generic templates
AI replies, but on-brand and human? Get automatically generated suggestions based on how you replied in the past and the information from your help content for quick responses that never miss the mark.
Direct publishing to all major platforms with team approvals
Plan and schedule your social media content in the same tool you use for moderation and analytics. The Publisher is a shared calendar with a clear view of the content pipeline across channels and team workflows for a smooth content publishing process.

Social media scheduling, moderation, and analytics made easy
Here’s why our clients love NapoleonCat
Join businesses that save hours every week with an all-in-one social media management platform
It’s hard to imagine our work without a tool that includes so many valuable features. It won’t be an overstatement when I say that NapoleonCat saves us multiple full-time positions that would be dedicated to just moderating comments or manually generating reports.
NapoleonCat saves up to one-third of a full-time position. That’s time we would otherwise spend manually moderating thousands of comments each month using the Meta Business Suite, profile by profile and comment by comment. Time we can now use for growth. NapoleonCat is the best tool of its kind on the market, and it’s still constantly evolving and improving by introducing new AI features.
It’s the first social media engagement tool we have ever tried that is truly intuitive and that makes it easy for us to include the clients in the process. The service and support is great and personal. And the value for money is great!
We work with multiple clients, and with NapoleonCat, we don’t waste time switching between multiple software tools. We can also deliver reliable data from a single source. We tested other social media moderation and analytics tools before, but none of them lived up to what NapoleonCat delivers. They’re the best, and I personally love using the tool. 🙂
NapoleonCat is now an indispensable tool that we use for moderation and analytical purposes, as well as content publishing. We’re curious to see new capabilities of the tool and test its new uses, for example, to moderate TikTok ad comments, as we predict this social media channel to become more and more important for our clients.
